Chapter Two

"I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't had any baby, this isn't my baby and I only met you like an hour ago," I say finally building up the courage to speak, I turn around to see him placing something on the table. 

In one swift movement, I'm pushed up against the wall with him standing in front of me, I start to shake again once again being terrified! I look behind him to make sure the baby was okay on the bed, she was still fast asleep.

"That may have once been true but not anymore, you're my wife, Mrs Freya Richards, we just had a baby a month ago, quite bad that we haven't chosen a name for her yet," he says trapping me, I stare up terrified at him not knowing what to say, think or do.

"Your old life is over this is your new one, you're gonna play along with everything and in the end, it'll just come naturally," he says, this cannot be happening right now! this dude isn't actually forcing me to pretend to be his wife!

"Things are gonna be amazing, I'll give you the best life for you and our daughter don't worry," he says quietly stroking my cheek with his finger, this just got weird and highly uncomfortable "I'll leave you to settle in with the baby, to be named later, I'll actually make her a bottle up," he says finally releasing me from the trap he put me in, well one of them at least.

He looks down at the sleeping baby on the bed then back at me with a smile on his face, he mutters something along the lines of "perfect" then walks out the room closing the door behind him. I stand there frozen with my back against the wall, what the heck just happened?

One minute I was complaining to Blake about milk and now, I'm stuck here with a strange guy and someone else's baby.

And I didn't even get my scrambled eggs!

I walk over to the window to see if there were any clues on where he's taken us, it was now pitch black, I had no idea what the time was but I knew it was late. I pace around the room just trying to come up with an idea to try to leave this place, but my mind always drew a blank. Has anyone ever been put in a situation like this before it seems so weird? Amelia starts to make some noises on the bed snapping me out of my thoughts, I promised her mum back at the shop that I would look after her, but how am I meant to do that in a situation like this?

I walk over scooping her up in my arms her blue eyes looking at me.

"I know I'm not your mum and I know that's who you want, but don't worry I'm gonna figure out a way for us to get out of here but you're just gonna need to trust me," I whisper not wanting those robber guys hearing me, wait he says I'm his wife but I don't even know his name yet, how the heck does that work?

The door opens and in he walks holding a bottle in his hand, did he just have one of those laying around? This dude is getting weirder and weirder as time is going on.

"Wow right on time I see" he smiles closing the door behind him, he makes his over rubbing the baby's check "we really need to think of a name for her,it's been a while" he smiles looking down at her, she already has a name!

Maybe I could suggest her name, we can't just call her a total random name cause what if she thinks that's actually her name?!

"How about Amelia?" I ask he looks up at me then down back at the baby thinking "I just think she looks like one" I shrug trying to push at the name, which is her name anyway!

"Amelia, yeah I like it, hello Amelia" he smiles down at her,  yes I can't believe that actually worked, I must be good at manipulating people, wait I could use that to my advantage.

"What's your full name, I mean we could think of a middle name for her that might be the same as yours?" I ask, good thinking Freya you're getting better at this, he looks at me taking the baby sitting on the bed. 

"Anthony Richards, I don't actually have a middle name," he explains, well at least I know his name now and did it in a very clever way if I do say so myself "do you have a middle name?" He asks I freeze but eventually shake my head, I did actually have one it was Marie, but I wasn't about to tell him that.

He puts the bottle in Amelia's mouth where she actually starts to drink it, he must have had some experience with children.

"So is this where we're gonna be staying?" I ask trying to get as much information as I possibly could, so I could figure out where we are and how I'm gonna get back. 

"No this is just for tonight, we'll be heading to our actual home tomorrow morning, it isn't too far away," he explains looking down at the baby, a smile starts to form on my lips, he's giving me a lot of clues on where we are.

We didn't drive for that long from the shop and if he's telling the truth about the house not being far from here, it can't actually be far away from where I live. As soon as I get the chance I'm working out where that house is, so I can work out how far out we are from the town. Now I know his full name, when I get to a police station I can give them that, but I still don't know the small guys name but he doesn't seem that bright, it might be much easier to get his name.

"You're quiet" Anthony says snapping me out of my plotting thoughts, okay maybe that wasn't the best time to stop and reflect.  I just say I'm tired then go back to looking out the window "then go get some sleep, don't worry I can sort her out," he suggests causing me to freeze.

I mean I want to sleep but I don't trust him alone with Amelia, I shake my head walking over sitting next to him but I keep my eyes glued to the baby. 

"Oh come on you look tired, she'll just fall asleep after she drinks this," he pushes for me to sleep, I nod not wanting to have an argument with him as I don't want to get in his bad side. 

I walk to the bed getting under the blanket as he remains at the bottom of the bed feeding Amelia. I thought it would take me ages to fall asleep as I was terrified, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I dropped asleep.
